Just to clarify my earlier post - when I said the fronts seemed soft to me, that wasn't based on having installed the stock springs then swapping them - I uprated them prior to install.
I feel the fronts are a bit soft based on the feedback of my local p-car gurus, info on the optimal ratio (front/rear) and also because of the handling characteristics I wanted. I knew that I wanted to reduce front end dive and run the car low so given this, the idea of using what amounts to the stock C2 front spring rates seemed suboptimal. The rates I used (40 nm) are within the specs of the shocks, and the rate is not aggressive when compared to other setups so it seemed like an easy decision.
YMMV
